HUMAN NATURE.
A Study Which Should Be Made an Edu.
 cationaI Element.


 There is no law so important in school government as the law of cause and effect Every event is linked to other events that have come up. to us from the eternity passed, and will con- tinue on to the eternity to come As Horace Mann has said: "They co-exist. They lie down side by side layer upon layer, sometimes running parallel, sometimes thousand causes converg- ing to one event, and again, one event diverging or branching out into a thou sand others" Now a teachers work is not to correct effects, but to study and mold causes. We have known d poor school become good one through the skillful management of causes; there was no storming, but disorder disappeared, bad words were dropped, rough manners were smoothed, impo- liteness became politeness; in word, the old school was transformed into a new one, but there was no noise about it. Nothing was done that even a critical visitor would notice, but every thing was done. The teacher knew how to touch the spring of cause. Here was the secret of her success. "Where can I learn this di- vine art?'' a thousand teachers ask. Not in books. but in yourselves. Study cause and effect. First in your own experience and then in others. Why do dislike this and like that? Why is that boy mischievous and that girl needless! Why? Why? WhyP Soon you will know just what to do to make that boy forget his mischief and that girl her inattention. There is no more profitable study than the study of hu- man nature-humanity as it is called. It is more than mind study; it is human study. Teachers are beginning to study the mind; let them enlarge this study and include all there is in boy or girl. We teach whole children-not minds only. Stomachs affect brains, the skin affects stomachs and clothing affects the skin. Here is cause and effect. Go back little further and study street influence, home and society influences and it will be found that the teacher is far from being re- sponsible for all the badness there is in this world, neither is she to be credited with all the goodness in it. Schools are doing excellently if they do little good. Some schools would do better if they did no harm.-SchooL Journal.

TAXES IN CUBA.
Peculiar Methods Adopted to Increase the
 Revenues of the Island.

Peculiar Methods Adopted to Increase the
 Revenues of the Island.
 Cuban taxation is reduced to sci ence. The authorities would tax the air here if they could get any adequate means by which to regulate it. They do tax every thing else. The steamer Mascotte, which carries the mail to the United States, has to pay a tax of $500 every time it enters the harbor at Havana. Travellers are taxed $1 apiece upon their passports, and this hotel in which I write this letter, after paying a number of hundred dollars for the privilege of doing business, is taxed five cents for each name on its register, and it has to put revenue stamp of that amount opposite each name. This is a new tax, and the landlord of the hotel did not at first observe it. The omission was discovered and he was fined $500.
 The cab-drivers pay a heavy tax, and the boatmen who land passengers in the harbor have to pay license. Small retail stores pay three hundred dollars a year, and as their business increases they pay more. Each trades man is taxed so much for every letter on his sign. and the clerks must pay two and half per cent. of their quar- terly salaries. The thousand miles of railway in Havana are taxed ten per cent of all freight and passenger money they receive, and every citizen of Havana has to pay five dollars a year for a document of identification or passport for home use.
 These are but few items of taxa ton of which I have heard. Is it any wonder that the native Cubans hate Spain and that the prices of every thing are extremely high9-HqpaRa Letter,

VOLUME XVI.
COMPENSATION.

When the wind blows east from the wide salt
 sea,
 And great trees writhe in the lusty gale, When masts are straining and sheets flow free, And reefs are bent in each swelling sail, When the sea-birds gather along the sand, And sparrows chatter below the caves, Then deep in the sudden sweeps of land, Quicken the buds and the bursting leaves. When out from the tossing deeps of cloud, That over the heavens masses lie, The lightnings leap, and the storm grows loud In the wide waste space of the somber sky, When cyclones gather, and whirlwinds rush Like tidal waves by an earthquake rolled, The morning light and the evenings flush Burn bright in the harvest's ripening gold When floods lie deep where the meadow grass Was green in the summers sunlit days, And wreck and ruin in fierce wrath pass Where once was plenty and peaceful ways, When rains are hurtling, and woods resound With storm-made echoes through all their
 gloom,
 The new life wakens along the ground, And the first sweet flowers of the spring time
 bloom,
 When sorrows gather. and hope seems dead, And pain is heavy, and weary toll Has stolen the sweetness from your bread, And you lose the fight and the victors spoil, When sunless plains in your way expand, And cold. bleak mountains loom high above, Then far in the distance you see One stand, And the day grows fair with the light of love.

How to Ripen Bananas.

Being very much of democrat, not to say Bohemian, I stopped yesterday to purchase some bananas of a bright eyed son of Italy in the neighborhood of the Providence railroad station. The negotiation was about completed when a mortified voice behind me exclaimed: What are you doingP" Buying some fruit" was my meek response. "Well, don't buy bananas of an Italian, whatever else you do" And why not, pray?" "Only this and nothing more, e," replied my mentor, drawing me away, "these descendants of Dante pack the green bananas into bed with their fam flies because the heat of their bodies ripen them, that's all. " "All right, the method is a perfect success" Isa:d; but I ordered some strawberries in- stead, my mentor giving full and sub stantial reason for his singular infor- nation in regard to the banana trade. -BoStO1I Herald

Be Helpful.

When? Where? To-day, tomorrow. every day, just where you are. You have heard of the girl who sat down and sighed the morning hours away, longing to be missionary and help somebody, while her mother was toil- ing in the kitchen and looking after three little children at the same time. Perhaps your mother has servants in the kitchen, but you can lend her hand all the same. You can find place to help brother or sister or friend. and you can help everybody in the house by your patient, kind, obliging spirit, ''in honor preferring one an- other" self-forgetful and mindful of others. It seems a very little thing to ''lend hand' in these quiet home ways, but if you could see the record the angels make of such day you would see that it was a very great thing. Boys, girls, watch eagerly your chance. Do not be cheated out of your happy privilege. It is a great, noble. blessed thing to be able to ''help little," no matter how little it may be.-S. s.

| time he became master of transports-
 tion of the entire road.
 Nothing worries a conductor more
 than to be behind time, but next to
 this cause of misery comes the tramp.
 Following this on the category of
 conductors trials is the scalped ticket
 The hummer who sticks his head out
 of the car-window with his hat so nice ly adjusted that It will fall off when
 the conductor slaps him on the shoul- der, and who then complains of the loss of his ticket, which he claims to
 have carried in his hat is still met with occasionally, but he deceives not the man with the punch, who is as likely to put him off then and there as he is to carry him to the next station.
 Air-brakes have tended to retard the progress of the modern brakeman, but he is still a useful institution. No one would know when the train had ar rived at Port Costa if he did not emit the highly-intelligible cry of ''Pors ta!' or at Benicia if he did not enlight. en the passengers by exclaiming
 "B' 'nishr'
 Porters on Pullman cars rarely be- come railway presidents, but that is not the fault of the company employ ing them, for its reward to the faithful employe is better than money, consist ing largely in the ''tone" given to a man who spends all his time in a pal ace coach. At the end of each month the porter does not, as usual thing. owe the Pullman company more for board and clothing than he can bor- row of his rich relations, but cases where the contrary was the rule have been reported. A nice system of fines, dockings, and returns for 'favors ex- tended" often relieves the porter of the trouble of drawing any salary, but he enjoys a good society and gets plenty of air and exercise, being com peled, under a recent rule of the com pany, to stand on the platform of the car whenever stop is made, either by night or day. On forty-eight-hour run this sort of exercise gets rath CT monotonous, to be sure, but the reward comes in the full enjoyment of the con- seiousness by the porter that he may say with the PInkerton men: "We never sleep"
 Of the baggage-smashers, shotgun messengers, mail-clerks and peanut butchers, who enjoy the pleasant life of motion on the rail, little need be said. They fill their places so quietly as to attract little attention from the public, and it would hardly be fair to make known the ease and luxury of their positions at the very time when they are representing them to be full of hum-drum cares in the hope of dis suading outsiders from applying for their situations and securing their sumptuous salaries, pocket-flling per quisites and ready-cash rewards. It is enough to say that these fat-pursed | are all living in the hope | that they may not die, as their demise would result in the disclosure through | their wills of the real value of their vast estates. Why none of them ever retire from train life until they are thrown through car roof or scattered | along the track in small bits by an ex- plosion will, therefore, continue to re- main mystery.

BORED BY INSECTS.
The Frame-Work of a House Ruined by
 an Army or Ants.

an Army Of Ants.
 The most dreaded insect invader is the white ant. In Africa their houses are dome-shaped mounds often eighteen feet high. These insects erect pyra- mids one thousand times higher than themselves! The ants on their travels so conceal their approach that their presence is not suspected until the damage is done. They usually tunnel into any object which they attack, often reducing it to mere shell. In this way they have been known to as cend within the leg of table, devour the contents of 8 box upon it, and de- scend through tunnel bored in anoth- CT leg, all in one night. An officer of the English army, while calling upon some ladies Tn Ceylon was startled by a rumbling sound. The ladies started with alright and the next instant they stood with only the sky above them; the roof had fallen in and lay all about, leaving them miraculously unharmed! The ants had made their way up through the beams, following them out until great part of the framework of the house was ready to fall at the slightest shock, Charles Frederick Holder, in St. Nicholas.

The Place to See Life.

Edward Everett Hale told the stu dents of Cornell that the best Oppor> tunity of studying human nature was to be had by entering the profession of the schoolmaster. Mir. Hale is a keen observer, but his judg- ment is not entirely sound in this matter. The ideal oppor- tunity for studying human nature in an almost infinite variety of phases and under almost every conceivable circumstance is enjoyed by reporter for metropolitan journal. There is no other way of seeing life" and learning to know men that compares with this.-M r Tribune

FOR OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
A SHORTENED BABY.

Our baby now is four months old, A bonnie boy, with hair like gold; And his long clothes are put away For mother shortened him to-day. He has the loveliest of frocks, All trimmed with lace, and two pink sockS That father bought the best by far And prettiest in the whole baZar. And now the rogue can kick about; His little feet go in and out As though they could not rest, and he Is just as happy as can be. Besides, he feels quite proud to-day With all his long clothes put away, And dressed so fine! And then, you know. We praise the boy, and love him so! His grandmamma must see him soon; We all will go this afternoon, And take the pet, and stay for tea, And what riot there will be. At first, perhaps, she may not know The baby, he has dwindled so; But let her guess, and do not say That mother shortened him to-day.

Boston reioices in the applicatic

Boston rejoices in the application of steam power to boot polishing. In a shop located in the midst of the dis ciples of Blackstone has been fitted up an engine with a complex arrangement of straps by which brushes are whirled at surprising rate. The customers are seated on board bench and are polished of in very short time.-M r. Sam.
